Hello from Romania

Hello everyone,
My name is Radu, I am from southern part of Romania, Eastern Europe. As most of you I am sufferring from a wonderful disease called cacti addiction. I don't mind being "ill" it's more like a blessing for my sanity.
I always liked growing plants, from early age I grew flowers, had a small area in the garden where I planted flower bulbs and took care of them all year round.
However my life changed when I turned 10, on a hot summer day, when my echinopsis made 10 flowers. Stunning right ?!

I grew many succulents and cacti for the last 20 years, starting from echeveria, haworthia, lithops, echinopsis, echinocereus, gymnocalycium, trichocereus and many more species. But in 2021 I started my Eriosyce collection, I sowed many seeds and bought my first plants.
I like growing plants from seed as I can see the entire process. It takes more time to reach maturity and get flowers however the entire process is very rewarding.

For a month I am trying to join BCSS, always had something else to do. Today I decided that the time has come to do that, so here I am.

That's all for now. I am looking forward to talking to you, exchange tips and tricks, best practices and advices.

Kind regards,
Radu
